Obama Eases Penalties For Businesses Hiring Illegal Immigrants

The Obama administration regularly cuts a break for businesses that hire illegal immigrants, reducing their fines by an average of 40 percent from what they should be, according to an audit released Tuesday that suggests the government could be doing more to go after unscrupulous employers.

According to the audit, conducted by the Homeland Security Department’s inspector general, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement cut one business’s fine from $4.9 million to slightly more than $1 million — a 78 percent drop.

Investigators said the reduction is legal, but it may be undercutting the administration’s goal of getting tough on businesses that hire illegal immigrants.

The regime is actively promoting lawlessness.

They do the same with EPA and OSHA (MOSH) fines. Hit you with a HUGE fine, then settle at 25%, as long as you don't open your mouth. Extortion is what you call it, and it's rampant in government.
